So what are the benefits of ginger powder in cooking? Please read with UniMall to learn through the following article.
Uses of ginger powder in processing
Ginger powder has a characteristic warm and spicy taste, so it can be used as a seasoning in many dishes, especially suitable for baked goods. When using ginger powder for seasoning, dishes will be more rich and flavorful thanks to their ability to dissolve quickly compared to sliced fresh ginger.
With ingredients with a "heavy" smell such as duck, swan, or fish, chefs also often use ginger powder, along with alcohol, to rub and marinate to remove odors quickly.
Ginger powder is also used to balance the flavor of jams, cookies, and cakes. At the same time, contributes to increasing the nutritional value of sweet dishes.
